It has been mentioned time and time again about the how the conditions on Highway 6 need improving. Over the years, there have been several accidents and fatalities along this stretch of northern highway. An action group was formed to lobby the provincial government for a plan to be developed to make Highway 6 safer for road traffic.
“The intent of creating the Safer Highway 6 Citizen’s Action Group is to create a safer Highway 6 corridor to the North and reduce accidents and deaths,” said Safer Highway 6 Citizen’s Action Group Member Volker Beckmann. “In May 2022, our action group submitted a brief that we gave to the Minister of Transportation with 6,000 names on a petition calling on the provincial government to improve safety on Highway 6.”
